1. Symmetric encryption. Uses the same public key to encryption and DecryptionAlgorithm : DES, AES, 3DES,RC4

2. Asymmetric Encryption: Use public key to encypt the data and private key to decrypt the data.
Like email exchange.Algorithm : RSA

Sender encypts data with public key and reciever decrypt using private key.

3. Hashing is kind of cryptographic unlike encryption. It is also called one way encryption.Algorithm : MD5 and SHA-1
It uses secret key or checksum or password salt-random generated value to encrypt the data. It is called one-way hashing as we cannot reverse the original data or decrypt the value back to clear text.

Summary-
1. KPI /metrics to identify performance index.
Refer this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc188783.aspx
The next step is to clearly define your metrics. Examples of metrics include the number of orders processed per minute or the number of milliseconds required to execute a request on an ASP page. Metrics allow you to quantify the results of the changes made between each of your test runs. They provide a comparison to the standard defined for your Web application.

SQL: You can install the database to any existing SQL server. For example, if you had a SQL server named ContosoServer1 you would use the following command:SQLCMD /S ContosoServer1 -i loadtestresultsrepository.sql

SEO in simple terms ensure the web page ranking and indexin for search engine. In order to do so we built our web pages to align to that standard and rules to be SEO non agnostic. Tags, Keywords, meta data and page state helps to get into top of the search list and there we called is is SEO compliant.

Hash # in website URL helps enables interactive within page. It helps locate quick element and navigation across page scroling without having to make a request back to the server. With this we can manipulate browser history when moving forward and backward due to which overall segment of SEO is defeated. To resolve this Google came up with workaround of Hash # Bang ! in url
sample link http://well.com/#!/User1

Now it is not a standard but solution to work with SEO on hash issue. We do heavy duty at backend code in server to check “_escape_fragment_” This is again one of the problem in terms of processing and latency.

Looking into all this HTML5 Push state is good solution to above problem

I always wanting to write my first Android App but ends up in despair as I don't want to move from my comfort zone of Visual studio for that matter .net. Finally I got my small Hello world App installed in Android device. Before this all I would like to share the links/references to starter kit that makes you get going and hopefully you can break or zeal to develop your first app in Android. ITs Html5 so one can port this in Windows phone aswell all you need is windows 8 environment to do it in a right way. Once this is done you can port your app in Windows Store or Google Play full fledgedly.

Xamarin and Phonegap are the awesome tool to start with your Android app development however if you are .net geek then above enablement is for you.

Troubleshooting Tips:
1. If you unable to debug or built app in VS2012 then all you can do it using following command.
Go to your solution folder then type locate ant.bat
something like this.
D:\androidApp1> d:\ant\ant.bat debug

2. If you unable to configure android SDK , try installing Xamarin as it sets all the environment for you. Still you can through with VS2012.

Install Android SDK platform.if you install Xamarin, it will take care of this one aswell.If your built is successfull you can check for .apk file in release folder and can mail /distribute to Android users for quick test.Hope this is helpful.
